McGill University offers rigorous academic programs with brilliant professors who are knowledgeable and well-known in their respective fields. While this creates driven students who have access to many resources, it also occasionally creates unnecessary competition and thus lacks community with the classroom. However there are a great number of clubs and organizations to join outside the classroom to gain a sense of community n matter your interests. Moreover, experiences at McGill tend to wildly differ depending on the faculty, and as such there is no universal McGill experience.
